Amazing how much code can be recreated.  I too put together a change
to pccons.c including a user level program "pccons" that let's you
dynamically toggle between a flipped and nonflipped control/caps lock.
I put this code out in a big tar ball that went no where.  If there
is any interest in the changes I can post them.

I also hacked a feature into pms.c and pccons.c that lets the arrow 
keys and the f1, f2, f3 behave like a mouse -- for laptops.  (In 
general, it's not that useful any more since mice are getting good.
But it does let you have three buttons for your mouse -- which is
essential for X.)
